Create a new BitBucket repository for existing files from Ubuntu
bitbucket, git, ubuntu
Solution
More detail on Bruce's comment:
When you create a repo at BitBucket, you are offered two links:
- "I'm starting from scratch"
- "I have an existing project to push up"
Click on the 2nd, and you will be given the commands to run in your local repo. These would look like:
> cd /path/to/my/repo
> git remote add origin https://me@bitbucket.org/me/test.git
> git push -u origin --all # pushes up the repo and its refs for the first time
> git push -u origin --tags # pushes up any tags
Problem
I have files that I want to add to a new repository on BitBucket. How can I do this using a command line from Ubuntu ? An alternative would be to create the repository first from the BitBucket website but I don't know how to clone a repository into a non-empty directory.
